VOSCUR is collaborating with the Media Trust to organise an exciting ‘speedmatching’ event, aimed at introducing local charities* to marketing volunteers who can help them to spread their message and raise their profile.

Fund It! is back in 2017 and promises to be bigger and better than ever!

The funding environment is changing fast and taking time out to think broadly and get a fresh perspective is increasingly important. Fund It! provides that space for local groups across the South West to come together and discuss common problems and creative solutions with experts, peers and with funders themselves.

Are you a charity, social enterprise or organisation that would like to know more about social investment, meet social investors and hear from other organisations that have used social investment to sustain or grow their organisation?

Bristol has built a cultural reputation - bursting at the seams with innovative creative institutions and globally recognised art practice. There is strong support for its more established cultural sector but what of the thriving grassroots activity in different parts of the city and the benefit it plays in the health and wellbeing of people's lives. How do we better value and recognise these types of cultural interactions, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility? How do we amplify and embed the voluntary community sector into future cultural agenda?

The Volunteer Organisers' Forum is used to promote and share best practice for those managing or coordinating volunteers. We meet quarterly to discuss a variety of issues relevant to volunteering such as volunteer recruitment, employability, DBS checks, volunteer retention, thank you events, welfare reform impacts, volunteers and the law amongst others. Featuring speakers and mini workshops, this forum is also a great opportunity to network.
